Definitions

  • An object of the present invention is a modular plant for the melting of metallic materials, especially aluminium scraps, comprising a rotating furnace characterized by the lack of use of a salty bath, and with direct pouring of the melted metal in a spherical storage tank, an equipment for the selection and recovery of the slag of fusion, and a system of scavenging.
  • Salt is a good receiver and transmitter of heat and its addition is useful as a cover agent to prevent the oxidation of the metal in the fusion. At almost 1000° C. it reacts, englobing the slag of fusion of the aluminium scraps.
  • the principal drawback of these furnaces is the production of a notable quantity of refuse, essentially constituted by the salty products mixed to the slag of the process of fusion of the aluminium scrap. Problems exist because of the disposal of this fuse. Recycling the refuse is not always possible or convenient from an economic point of view, and impacts the final price of the ingot of aluminium.
  • the present invention avoids the drawbacks of the preceding systems primarily by use of a rotating furnace for the fusion of primary and secondary aluminium that does not have to realize the fusion of the aluminium using a salty bath.
  • Another is the realization of a rotating furnace for the fusion of the primary and secondary aluminium, according with the preceding purposes, in which it is the direct and continuous pouring of the fused metal in a spherical store tank without any interruption of the process of fusion, so that to improve the use of fuel, of workforce, of salty materials, and the safety conditions of the job.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in a three-dimensional way, the general view of the system of fusion according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows, in a perspective section, the general view of the system of fusion according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section of the general view of the system of fusion according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows, schematically and in a lateral point of view, a portion of the spiral element with the channels realized on it.
  • FIG. 5 shows, in a lateral longitudinal view, the equipment for treating of the slag with a disposition for the scavenging as well as tracks for moving.
  • FIG. 6 shows, schematically and in a general view, components of the plant, mainly the store tank of the fused metal and the system of scavenging.
  • the furnace that realizes the fusion of the primary and secondary aluminium scraps is constituted by a cylindrical hollow body ( 1 ), with circular section, built in a refractory material, resistant to thermal stress.
  • the body ( 1 ) is closed by a porthole ( 2 ) used for the loading of the metallic scraps.
  • a window of entry ( 3 ) is provided for the flame of heat of the scrap.
  • a hole ( 4 ) is provided for the leakage of the fused liquid that, as illustrated by the drawings, is realized in a plain slot.
  • the inside diameter of the body ( 1 ) changes constantly along its longitudinal axis to originate a negative inclination on the horizontal line beginning from the extremity at the loading porthole ( 2 ) up to the extremity where is positioned the hole ( 4 ) for leakage of the melted metal.
  • the difference of inclination among the two extremities, in comparison to the horizontal line, is 2 centimeters per linear meter of the length of the furnace.
  • the furnace is covered by a metallic structure and is kept in a horizontal position by metallic traverse frames ( 5 ) that place and creep on the slides ( 6 ) held on the metallic supports ( 7 ).
  • openings ( 8 ) and ( 9 ) for scavenging the fumes that join in a single channel of evacuation ( 10 ).
  • a spiral element ( 11 ) is provided, whose spires, in a first preferred and illustrated shape, are cylindrical, with circular section, with constant diameter and made of a refractory material resistant to the heat and to the mechanical stress due to the action of the scrap in fusion.
  • the basin ( 16 ) has adequately been described in the patent WO 02/39044 by the same applicant.
  • the rotating joint ( 17 ), in comparison to that described in the aforesaid patent, has a different shape, so as to realize a continuity of inclination with the channel of pouring ( 13 ).
  • the furnace is maintained in a slow rotation, from one to four revolution/minute, on its mean axle by a gear motor.
  • the melting of secondary aluminium is preferred, at first is realized the selection and mixing of different types of aluminium scraps, whose chemical composition has to be as close as possible to that of the desired alloy. Then the aluminium scraps are set, through the loading porthole ( 2 ), in the rotating furnace without adding of sodium chloride as a cover agent to prevent the oxidation of the metal.
  • the liquid metal is protected against the oxidation of the air because of its low position, it is not directly licked up by the stream of the warm gases (whose flow is horizontal and situated in the tall part of the furnace), as well as because it continually flows in the basin ( 16 ) where the fused metal is stored, through the pouring channel ( 13 ).
  • the slags remain in the tall part and are held by the spiral body ( 11 ) and, once all the aluminium is melted and has been stored in the spherical basin, are discharged close to the loading porthole through a channel equipped with a screw conveyor, finishing the process of melting.
  • the slags put in the channel and pushed by the screw conveyor, reaches the module of selection wherein they enter from the extremity ( 18 ).
  • the module of selection is constituted by three hollow metallic and coaxial cylinders, one inserted in the other, and open to the left end, and is kept in a horizontal position by booms ( 19 ) and metallic traverse frames ( 20 ) that place and creep on the slides ( 21 ) joined on metallic supports ( 22 ) with the interposition of a gear carriage ( 23 ).
  • the cylinders ( 24 ) and ( 25 ) have a surface side equipped with holes, greater on the first cylinder ( 24 ) and smaller on the second ( 25 ) so that it is possible the pouring of slags of different dimensions.
  • the whole, constituted by the three cylinders, is put in slow rotation around the longitudinal axle, so a remixing of the slags occur as soon as they advance along the cylinders pushed by the screw conveyor.
  • the slag according to their weight and dimension, pass from the first cylinder ( 24 ) to the last one ( 26 ).
  • the slags essentially constituted by iron parts, steel, copper, that is, material that has not been put through the process of fusion or only been put through a small amount; in the second cylinder ( 25 ) are the slags of aluminium oxide, while in the third cylinder ( 26 ) are essentially the dusts. It is very interesting to note that the slags, flowing, are selected as well as they are cooled.
  • the recovered aluminium oxide is recycled and joined to the feeding charge of fusion. All of the exhaust gases produced in the module of selection and recovery of the slag are carried, through canalizations, to the cap ( 30 ), and do not escape in the external environment.
  • module of selection and recovery of the slag is constituted by units, placeables on tracks, ( 31 ), so that they can be open for inspections and maintenance.
  • the furnace of fusion is also modular, put on carriages that are moved on tracks, to make possible the opening.
  • the warm gases originated by the furnace of fusion at a maximum temperature of 300° C., are carried through the pipeline ( 32 ) in the underground pit ( 33 ) accessible by a porthole of inspection ( 34 ).
  • the gases exclusively escape from the furnace of fusion, because of the concomitant action due to the kinetic energy (that originates from their heat), to the expansion that they have by reaching the pit ( 33 ), to the loss of pressure produced by the chimney ( 35 ) and to the drag force produced by the air flow, at a great speed, that escapes from the extremity ( 36 ) of the pipeline ( 37 ).
  • the warm gases because of the expansion, decrease in temperature and also realize a first falling of the heaviest particles of pollutant agents in the gases.
  • Both pipelines ( 32 ) and ( 37 ) are equipped with a control valve ( 39 ) for automatic passage of the gases.
  • the present system realizes also an energetic conservation in the furnace of fusion, because the gases are evacuated in a natural way and only in the quantity necessary to the process of combustion, not having additional quantities of heat for an excess of evacuation of the gases.
